Cattle Disease Law Sparks Push to Oust Dr Bridge
Harrisburg reports a pending bill to curb tuberculosis and other infections in cattle by creating a five member state stock sanitary commission. The plan could force retirement of Dr. F Bridge the longtime state veterinarian surgeon, who is opposed by agriculture interests. The measure empowers quarantine, euthanasia of diseased cattle, and appraisal-based compensation, with penalties for violations and court-backed enforcement.
